For 1 hour each day, the company runs an additional automated job on the DynamoDB table that makes 20 write requests per second. No other application writes to the DynamoDB table. The DynamoDB table does not have to meet any additional capacity requirements.
How should a database specialist configure the DynamoDB table’s capacity to meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

A. Use DynamoDB provisioned capacity with 5 WCUs and auto scaling.
B. Use DynamoDB provisioned capacity with 5 WCUs and a write-through cache that DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) provides.
C. Use DynamoDB provisioned capacity with 10 WCUs and auto scaling.
D. Use DynamoDB provisioned capacity with 10 WCUs and no auto scaling.

QUESTION 200
Application developers have reported that an application is running slower as more users are added. The application database is running on an Amazon Aurora DB cluster with an Aurora Replica. The application is written to take advantage of read scaling through reader endpoints. A database specialist looks at the performance metrics of the database and determines that, as new users were added to the database, the primary instance CPU utilization steadily increased while the Aurora Replica CPU utilization remained steady.
How can the database specialist improve database performance while ensuring minimal downtime?

A. Modify the Aurora DB cluster to add more replicas until the overall load stabilizes. Then, reduce the number of replicas once the application meets service level objectives.
B. Modify the primary instance to a larger instance size that offers more CPU capacity.
C. Modify a replica to a larger instance size that has more CPU capacity. Then, promote the modified replica.
D. Restore the Aurora DB cluster to one that has an instance size with more CPU capacity. Then, swap the names of the old and new DB clusters.

Answer: B
Explanation:
The automatic storage increase setting of a primary instance automatically applies to any read replicas of that instance. The automatic storage increase setting cannot be independently set for read replicas.

QUESTION 201
A company’s development team needs to have production data restored in a staging AWS account. The production database is running on an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Multi-AZ DB instance, which has AWS KMS encryption enabled using the default KMS key. A database specialist planned to share the most recent automated snapshot with the staging account, but discovered that the option to share snapshots is disabled in the AWS Management Console.
What should the database specialist do to resolve this?

A. Disable automated backups in the DB instance. Share both the automated snapshot and the default KMS key with the staging account. Restore the snapshot in the staging account and enable automated backups.
B. Copy the automated snapshot specifying a custom KMS encryption key. Share both the copied snapshot and the custom KMS encryption key with the staging account. Restore the snapshot to the staging account within the same Region.
C. Modify the DB instance to use a custom KMS encryption key. Share both the automated snapshot and the custom KMS encryption key with the staging account. Restore the snapshot in the staging account.
D. Copy the automated snapshot while keeping the default KMS key. Share both the snapshot and the default KMS key with the staging account. Restore the snapshot in the staging account.

Answer: B
Explanation:
You then create a copy of that snapshot and specify a KMS key to encrypt that snapshot copy. You can then restore an encrypted DB instance from the encrypted snapshot.
